The wide exposure variations once again defeated MS ICE on the sol 1950 post drive L-NavCams. I managed to salvage this small section, hopefully it will assist in narrowing down the location until the full version is posted.

Postcard from Mars: with the particularly low atmospheric opacity these days, we have a crystal-clear view on the distant rim of Gale crater. What a vista!This is a section of the sol 1950 NavCamR panorama with an extended sky.

A stupendous view indeed. It would be a particularly good one on which to mark the whole route travelled so far. I'm especially enjoying the reminders of earlier parts of the journey, such as the reappearance of the little hill to the east I used to call 'Dumgoyne' now seen from above whereas we were looking up at it from Yellowknife Bay.

Very nice Thomas I'm so pleased they named some new features, particularly the large crater in the western rim wall, it's long been a landmark for me to decide where the rover was pointing. I hope they continue to release the names of the vales, gorges and Mesa's etc in the months and years ahead, it makes it so much more enjoyable to follow along and the share the mission with others.

Meanwhile on Mars: sol 1955: 5 frame RMI mosaic of 'Bloodstone Hill' (roughly assembled in MS ICE), I guess there could be more images, but this is all they had when I processed these

Thanks. I'll see if I can find out more about that 'suture' process EDIT : No drive on sol 1957, but the rover took another NavCam 360, so I have deleted the roughly stitched pan I posted earlier as it's the same as the one posted on 1950

One of the telephoto RMI mosaics from sol 1959, roughly assembled in MS ICE with a little pre stitch processing on some of the frames. The 1959 mission update states that some of these long distance mosaics were checking various steep slopes to look for evidence of grain motion downhill.
